ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Travel Agent Association has announced a boycott of UAE-based Etihad Airways due to the ongoing tensions over Kashmir.
The association’s chairman Khawaja Ayub Naseem said that the airline’s boycott is to protest against UAE giving ‘Killer Modi’ its highest civilian award.
He said that a formal announcement would be made in a press conference today, where he will explain the association’s plan for the future.
We will also brief the Dubai-bound visitors of UAE’s anti-Kashmir move and will try to change their mind.
It should be mentioned here that the UAE government is facing severe criticism for disregarding the sentiments of the Kashmiris. People are calling for a UAE tourism boycott for giving a civilian award to the Indian prime minister at a time when Kashmir is in shambles.
